Numbers of Monarchs were down from the night before. For a while, I thought I wouldn't see any, but there turned out to be a good number of them scattered across the goldenrod meadow.
Temperatures were too warm (70 degrees) for good roosting, and so I spent a lot of time going from area to area in hopes of finding a cluster. There was very little air movement so the mosquitoes were phenomenal : )
Finally, I decided to go back out to the road where there fewer good roost trees, and that turned out to be wise. I did finally spot one branch with a small group of monarchs actively forming a roost, eight or so.
Still have not seen signs of a local peak of newly eclosed monarchs.
